    The on-line help reads first the <tt>
        <b>index.html</b>
      </tt> file
    which contains the list of the chapters. This file comes with Scilab and is
    in the directory <tt>
        <b>SCIDIR/man/&lt;language&gt;</b>
      </tt> (see
    <a href="man.htm">
        <tt>
          <b>man</b>
        </tt>
      </a>). It is possible to change this
    index file while interactively adding new chapters. For that,
    modify the <a href="percenthelps.htm">
        <tt>
          <b>%helps</b>
        </tt>
      </a> variable and then use the
    <tt>
        <b>make_index</b>
      </tt> function.</p>
